What did you do?

Lock the screen and unlock the screen

What did you expect to see?

VPN connection should still connecting and the application progress should still running.

What did you see instead?

Application progress exited, and the VPN connection disconnected.

Maybe this is a issue of HTC operating system ? idk. just post an issue here.

You need to allow shadowsocks running in background.

Unfortunately, there have no such thing like that. Perhaps this article is too old for HTC new type phones.
I will literally contact HTC after service personal for answer, hope that will helpful.

Okay,I solved this problem by my self. For anyone got this trouble like me, here is the solution:

1. Tap HTC Secure Helper()

Niiiiiice user experience of GitHub web for mobile

I'll post that again.

1. Tap HTC Secure Helper(IDK what it exactly called in English version, but for Chinese version, it called HTC 安全助手).
2. Tap Power optimization(again, 省电优化 for Chinese)
3. Tap Cloud power saving(again, 云端省电 for Chinese)
4. Tap Check power saving settings(again, 查看省电配置 for Chinese), tap shadow socks

No. I will not type that again. You win, github. You win.
Congratulations and gg.
